Hopi Cultural Center Restaurant & Inn

Description:

• Although it isn't much, this simple motel makes the best base for anyone planning to spend a couple of days shopping for crafts in the area. Because it is the only lodging for miles around, be sure you have a reservation before heading up for an overnight visit. Guest rooms are comfortable enough, though the grounds are quite desolate. The restaurant has a salad bar and serves American and traditional Hopi meals, including piki bread (a paper-thin bread made from blue corn) and Hopi stew, which is made with hominy, lamb, and green chili. There's also a small museum.
